1. Yeah, there's an amazing disconnect between what they say
Edited on Sat Jan-29-05 10:49 AM by Godlesscommieprevert
about what the problems are in this country - health care, the economy - and what they do about it - vote for Bush. The interviewer was talking to a waitress and asked her what was wrong with the country - the town's unemployment rate is 18%. She said jobs and health care, "We need health care - we NEED health care". He asked her of she thought it was american to dissent from the government or president. This was her reply verbatim:
"I would surely question in my opinion, but I'm still gonna stand behind my president. Whether, you know, I think it's right or wrong - I'm still gonna support him becasue that's my duty as an American I think".

Another guy was asked what he thought the main problems were, he said the deficit. When asked what had caused the deficit, he admitted it was the policies in place (plus 911), but he still voted for Bush.

Unfrikkin' believable.
